Hi,
I have used Microsoft Money for almost 2 decades, it has served our household very well. It is no longer supported and while the version I am using (2005) works fine on my current PC platform and OS... one day I will have to upgrade these things and Money won't function anymore. I want to port over and get things stabilized before that day.
I have seen the Microsoft Sunset option but I think that is a dead end like, sadly, Money. I am shopping for a completely new product i.e. Quicken, YNAB, Ace, etc. and am looking for advice from users of these (or others I am not aware of) products.
My priorities in order of importance are:
1) Must port existing Money database with reasonable success... I just don't want to lose the history if I can help it.
2) Cost of the software / maintenance costs etc.
3) Viability of the vendor... who would have thought Microsoft would discontinue Money but they did. I am looking for a stable long term relationship preferably.
I am leaning to Quicken currently due to the porting but YNAB looks good too and may port well.
Thanks,
Marc
